Innovative Solutions for Proteomics

The Baculovirus Expression Vector System(BEVS) is a convenient and versatileeukaryotic system for heterologous geneexpression. Baculovirus expression providescorrect folding of recombinant protein aswell as disulfide bond formation,oligomerization and other important post-translational modifications. Consequently,the overexpressed protein exhibits theproper biological activity and function.

The Baculovirus Expression Vector Systemis based on the introduction of a foreigngene into a nonessential region of the viralgenome via homologous recombinationwith a transfer vector containing thecloned gene; an event that occurs in theco-transfected insect cells. The production

of foreign protein is achieved by infectionof additional insect cell cultures with theresultant recombinant virus. TheBaculovirus Expression Vector Systemfrom BD Biosciences Pharmingen employsa modified Autographa californica nuclearpolyhedrosis virus (AcNPV) genome—BD BaculoGold™ DNA, and anappropriate transfer vector. The diversityof AcNPV-based transfer vectors,combined with available S. frugiperda Sf9and Sf21 cell lines, establish baculovirusexpression as a preferred system forfunctional eukaryotic gene expression andthe large-scale production of recombinantproteins.

The baculovirus expression system offersthe following advantages over prokaryoticand other eukaryotic systems:

• High Level of Protein ExpressionYields of up to 100 mg of protein per109 cells.

• Post-Translational ModificationsIncluding disulfide bond formation,phosphorylation, glycosylation,oligomerization, and folding.

• Relevant CellularCompartmentalization of ProteinsSecreted, membrane-bound, cytoplasmicor nuclear.

• Capacity of Large cDNA InsertsAccommodates genes up to 8 kb.

• Simultaneous Expression of Multiple GenesWith multiple promoter transfer vectors.

Unlike the wild-type AcNPV virus, BD BaculoGold™ DNA is anengineered baculoviral DNA with a lethal deletion. Co-transfectionof the BD BaculoGold DNA and a complementary baculovirustransfer vector restores viability by homologous recombinationand rescues the virus along with the desired recombinant gene.Since only recombinant BD BaculoGold DNA produces viablevirus, use of this improved viral DNA results in recombinationefficiencies greater than 99%.

With the addition of the BD BaculoGold Bright Linearized DNAto our product line, we provide a new tool for fast and easyfluorescence detection and sorting of recombinant virus-infectedinsect cells. The new linearized baculovirus DNA contains thegene for GFP (green fluorescent protein) and cells infected withrecombinant virus can be visualized by fluorescence microscopyor detected by flow cytometry. GFP-tagged recombinant virusesalso allow studying the kinetics of infection and proteinexpression by fluorescence microscopy.

Recombinant virus can be purified 24h post infection (pi), by sorting single GFP-positive cells, using a BD FACSAria™ or a BD FACSVantage™ SE Cell Sorting System, replacing theplaque assay.

Subsequently the virus titer can be measured by flow cytometry or serial dilution assay. Since the BD BaculoGold Bright alsocontains a lacZ gene that is replaced by recombination with theplasmid containing the foreign gene, all recombinants willproduce colorless plaques on X-gal plates. A small portion ofnon-recombinant virus plaques (usually less than 1%) will stainblue on X-gal plates. If preferred, the virus may be amplified froma single plaque using a plaque assay.

The BD BaculoGold Bright Advantage:• Identify virus-infected cells 48h -72h after

co-transfection or 24h post infection.

• Purify recombinant virus 24h post infection by sorting single,GFP-positive cells using flow cytometer (BD FACSAria andBD FACSVantage SE Cell Sorting Systems).

• Study virus infection kinetics and proteinexpression by fluorescence microscopy.

• Measure virus titer by flow cytometry or serial dilution assay.

• Express proteins in BEVS with high throughput.

BD BacPAK™ Baculovirus Rapid Titer Kit

• Saves time by shortening baculovirus expression experiments up to six days

• Eliminates troublesome plaque assays

• Compatible with all AcNPV-based baculovirus expression systems

The BD BacPAK™ Baculovirus Rapid Titer Kit provides thequickest method for determining titers of baculovirus stocks,typically the most time consuming part of baculovirus expressionprotocols. The kit uses a standard immunological assay toaccurately determine baculovirus titers within 48 hours, whereasother methods, such as plaque and end-point dilution assays,require 4–8 days.

In BD™ Baculovirus Expression Systems, infected cells expressviral antigens long before plaques are formed. The BD BacPAKRapid Titer assay allows titer determination after a much shorterincubation period. Furthermore, the titers obtained are comparableto those obtained with other methods. This kit is suitable for usewith any virus stock with a titer of more than 104 pfu/ml and iscompatible with all AcNPV-based baculovirus expression systems.

The BD BacPAK Rapid Titer immunoassay uses a primarymonoclonal antibody raised against an AcNPV envelopeglycoprotein (gp64) to accurately identify virally infected cells. An HRP-conjugated secondary antibody enables visualization ofinfected cells by light microscopy and determine viral titer.

The BD BacPAK Rapid Titer Kit includes a baculovirus controland all the necessary reagents, excluding organic solvents, toperform five titration assays.

The pVL1392 and pVL1393 transfer vectors contain polyhedrin geneloci. A multiple cloning site (MCS) has been inserted 37 nucleotidesdownstream of the polyhedrin ATG start codon, which also has beenchanged to ATT. It is advisable that the ATG start codon of the clonedgene not be in-frame with the vector ATT due to translation initiationthat has been reported using these vectors in some recombinant viruses.If the cloned gene contains a 5´ untranslated region longer than 100nucleotides, this will cause poor protein expression. The multiple cloning site is in the opposite orientation in pVL1392 and pVL1393.

These transfer vectors contain a copy of the AcNPV basic proteinpromoter instead of the polyhedrin gene promoter. They permitheterologous gene expression in the late phase of viral infection vs. thevery late phase which results with the use of polyhedrin or p10promoters. Since these vectors have residual polyhedrin gene codingsequences and their flanking regions, the recombination will occur at thepolyhedrin locus of the AcNPV. The pAcMP2 and pAcMP3 vectors havemultiple cloning sites in opposite orientations that are inserteddownstream of the basic promoter.

The pAcSG2 transfer vector is a smaller vector which contains only theessential polyhedrin gene locus portions of the AcNPV. The multiplecloning site immediately follows the polyhedrin promoter to improverecombinant protein expression levels. In the multiple cloning site, theNco I site contains an ATG initiation codon and thus sequences and thussequences cloned downstream of Nco I must not contain their own startcodon or they should be in-frame with the ATG of the Nco I site.Because of its small size, inserts as large as 8 Kb may be cloned.

The acidic glycoprotein gp67 (syn.: gp64) is the most abundant envelopesurface glycoprotein of the AcNPV and is essential for the entry ofbaculovirus particles into host insect cells. This gene contains the mosteffective baculovirus-encoded signal sequences for protein secretion. ThepAcGP67-A, -B, -C transfer vectors harbor the gp67 signal sequencefollowed by multiple cloning sites in a different reading frame for eachvector. The gp67 signal peptide mediates the forced secretion of therecombinant protein, even if it is normally not secreted. Duringtransport across the cell membrane, the signal peptide is cleaved and therecombinant protein can be purified from the supernatants of infectedcell cultures.

The set includes three vectors derived from pVL1393 containing GFP, BFP andYFP each. The GFP genes are expressed when cotransfected with BD BaculoGold™Linearized Baculovirus DNA in insect cells. Heterologous genes can be insertedin-frame at the BamH I or Sma I sites, located at the N-termini of the GFP gene,and expressed as GFP fusion proteins. In addition, the GFP genes are flanked byseveral unique restriction enzyme sites, readily enabling their excision from thevector and allowing for easy cloning into other vectors as desired.

Easy preparation of baculoviral shuttle constructs via Cre-loxP recombination

• BD Creator™ cloning is fast and efficient

• Vectors for native expression of proteins underoptimal folding conditions

• Tagged expression vector provides easy purification with BD TALON™ Resins

Do you need to express your protein in a baculoviral system, usevectors that eliminate complicated subcloning procedures and letyou proceed directly to expression in the shortest time possible?The new pLP-BacPAK9 and pLP-BacPAK9-6xHN Vectors fromBD Biosciences Clontech do just that. These BacPAK9 ShuttleVectors are BD Creator Acceptor Vectors that provide efficientsubcloning and compatibility with our BD BaculoGold™ or BD BacPAK™ Baculovirus Expression Vector Systems fromBD Biosciences.

BD Creator™ technology* ensures high-efficiency cloning

These vectors act as acceptor vectors for the BD Creator GeneCloning and Expression System*. Both vectors contain the loxPsequence from the P1 bacteriophage, instead of a multiple cloningsite. In BD Creator cloning, Cre Recombinase transfers a gene ofinterest from any BD Creator Donor Vector into any BD CreatorAcceptor Vector in just 15 minutes without restriction digestionor ligation. This method of subcloning is extremely efficient.

Quickly focus on protein expression

After transferring your gene of interest to the expression cassetteof the shuttle vector, you can express the protein as part of thebaculoviral genome. The AcNPV sequences flanking the loxP site promote recombination with baculoviral DNA to transfer the expression cassette to the polyhedrin locus of the baculoviral genome.

Easy purification of 6xHN-tagged proteins withBD TALON™ Resins*

You can express a protein bearing a 6xHN tag with pLP-BacPAK9-6xHN. Once this protein is expressed, it can be easilypurified using BD TALON™ Resin*, our patented cobalt-based,immobilized, metal affinity resin from BD Biosciences Clontech.
